  Yet you take actions which you clearly recognize are likely to do so.

  The reason you didn't know about it is because it isn't true.

  Prior to 1983, correct; they do now.  See above.

  Do you reject benefits that were enacted after you entered the workforce?

  Mainly seems to be a rant against illegal aliens.  While I don't
believe taxpayers should be supporting illegal aliens, I also don't
think it's currently the massive give-away this person seems to think
it is.  I don't support any amnesty that would qualify long-time
illegal aliens for significant monetary benefits, unless said illegal
aliens also have to pay their backtaxes first.  But I also don't know
of any proposed legislation *with significant support* that would
create such a give-away.

  I'm also amused at his complaints about off-shoring.  Last I knew,
that was something done by companies, not by congress.

  To me, this video mainly demonstrates that an ill-informed jingoist
can still dress up in period costume and make a video.
